 Chapter 6: Configuring Switch Access BMD00082, February 2009
Apply and Save the Configuration
The apply and save commands are still needed after the last command
(scp ad4.cfg scpadmin@205.178.15.100:putcfg).
Or, instead, you can use the following commands:
 The diff command is automatically executed at the end of putcfg to notify the remote
client of the difference between the new and the current configurations.
 putcfg_apply runs the apply command after the putcfg is done.
 putcfg_apply_save saves the new configuration to the flash after putcfg_apply
is done.
 The putcfg_apply and putcfg_apply_save commands are provided because
extra apply and save commands are usually required after a putcfg; however, a SCP
session is not in an interactive mode at all.
SSH and SCP Encryption of Management Messages
The following encryption and authentication methods are supported for SSH and SCP:
Server Host Authentication:Client RSA authenticates the switch at the beginning of every con-
nection
Key Exchange: RSA

User Authentication: Local password authentication, RADIUS, SecurID
(via RADIUS, TACACS+, for SSH only—does not apply to SCP)
